O Lord, let me build up, rather than tear down.

O Lord, thou knowest how busy I must be this day.  If I forget Thee, do not thou forget me.  Lord Astley (1579-1652)

O God, I thank You for all the joy in my life!  Earl Britnoth, 991

Open my eyes to my limitations and grant that I might acknowledge my shortcomings.

O Lord, never suffer us to think that we can stand by ourselves, and not need thee.  John Donne (1573-1631)
